Even the Tories weren’t consistently pro-Brexit.

The measure of a person is not what they've done in their past, but how, why, and what they're going about doing lately.

A person can be measured by their ideals, attitudes, and behaviors.

It doesn't need to be a human right, we just need to regulate housing to be owned by individuals and mandate a limit for how many residences one has.

This is because due to the scarcity of homes and that they cannot be manipulated or printed out of thin air and lent short on a computer, they have become tools of speculation, so the regulation is justified.

"China will likely support this, to legalize their own similar potential actions"

Not at all, because chinas legal angle with Taiwan is the opposite - the holy territorial integrity. Which is why they critiziced russia for invading officially and don't give really support. The support they do give, is still doing lucrative buisness with russia. That is in their own interest and they like NATO attention split. But the legal situation they don't like as russia is clearly violating territorial integrity - which is their argument for annexing Taiwan.

And Trump is an old man and most of the nuclear response is pretty hardcoded into the military institutions. Meaning, so many people will tell Trump he will be seen as weak if he does not react, that he will push the red buttons.

> how you think it’ll be our doom

There's 2 main possibilities:

1) Self aware AI with its own agency / free will / goals. This is much harder to predict and is IMO less likely with the current approaches so i'll skip it.

2) A"I" / ML tools will become a force multiplier and the powerful will be even more so. Powerful people and organizations (including governments) already have access to much more data about individuals than ordinary citizens. But currently you usually need loyal people to sift through data and to act on it.

With advanced ML tools, you can analyze every person's entire personality, beliefs, social status, etc. And if they align with your goals, you can promote them, if not, you can disadvantage them.

2a) This works if you're a rich person deciding whose medical bills you will pay (and one such person was recently killed for abusing this power).

2b) This works if you're a rich person owning a social network by deciding who's opinions will be more or less visible to others. You can shape entire public discourse and make entire opinions and topics invisible to those who have not already been exposed to them. For example one such censored topic in western discourse is when the use of violence is justified and moral. The west, at least for now, is willing to celebrate moral acts of violence in the past (French revolution, American civil war, assassination of Reinhard Heydrich) but discussion of situations where violence should be used in recent times is taboo and "banned" on many centrally moderated platforms.

2c) And obviously nation states have insane amount of info on both their own citizens and those from other nation states. They already leads to selective enforcement (everybody is guilty of something) and it can get even worse when the government becomes more totalitarian. Can you imagine current China ever having a revolution and reinstating democracy? I can't because any dissent will be stopped before it reaches critical mass.

So states which are currently totalitarian are very unlikely to restore democracy and states which are currently democracies are prone to increasingly totalitarian rule by manipulation from rich individuals - see point 2b.

We don't allow AIs to make healthcare decisions, how is that a bad thing? How many people die in the US because their care was denied by an AI?

AuDHD is a thing (in the sense of being a term in neurodiversity spaces, not in the sense of being recognized as a diagnosis) but generally the consensus seems to be that while there may be an overlap in symptoms presenting in people with ADHD vs autistic people, the underlying causes/experiences are often different. So someone with ADHD might be socially awkward because they find it hard to focus on the other person whereas an autistic person might be socially awkward because they find it intrinsically difficult to gauge what the other person expects from them.

Only if you consider “Highest and Best Use” to be that which is most profitable for the property owners, rather than that which is in society’s long-term interest.

Of course, capitalist economists work very, very hard to conflate “economic efficiency” with “society’s long-term interest” in peoples’ minds—to make people forget that an economy is just part of a society that should serve that society’s goals. They’d prefer if you thought an economy was a society and that all other things were subordinate to it.
Hey Don, thanks for the kind words! And yes, with the latest updates we (and I can say "we" since various discord users collaborated on this) focused a lot on refining the "brand" of Kando. With the new website and the new logo, things are taking shape really nicely!

I've written something about the new logo and icon here: https://ko-fi.com/post/A-New-Icon-for-Kando-X8X317HVLF

I am really proud if it because it fits so nicely.

The big next step will be to significantly improve the usability of the settings window. While the WYSIWYG editor is nice, it also has some issues which need to be fixed. It's always a full screen window (which is annoying) and it does not scale well to smaller screens.
At some point, EU "circular economy" rules will need to look at secure mechanisms for transfer of decommissioned hardware ownership for sale on secondary markets.

Yes, it's been several years since I watched it, so I guess I'm not remembering it clearly. I remember a race where there were multiple volunteer bettors at the track who were unaware of each other and only one of them won. Maybe that was the second to last race.

Anyway, I apologize for my error in recollection. I sincerely remember the gist of the show being as I described. Another reminder that memory can sometimes be weirdly porous yet not be correctly 'flagged' with an appropriate sense of uncertainty.
Looking back, to me he was a much better president then people believed in the 80s.

I believe if he got re-elected in 1980, the US would be in a much better place. One thing, it could be argued real work on Climate Change would have begun in 1981 as opposed to where we are now, which is just watching the average probably blowing past 3C in around 70 years from now.

For his loss in 1980, I still blame Kennedy.

RIP, he did a lot to help regular people through his life, far more than our current crop of politicians.
He sure seemed like a legitimately good man.

I think one of my favorite stories about him is that he helped resolve a nuclear reactor meltdown

Best President US has seen in modern times, the campaign that unseated him bordered on treason.
Jimmy Carter feels very likely to be the last "normal person" who will ever be elected president. That doesn't absolve his presidency of mistakes obviously, but if you run through the list of presidents since him, the vibes point to that for me.
> A factory can ensure precision and consistency at a level that those hand crafting things never could.

Idk, in the example "a built racecar engine" one could imagine that instead of running CNC machines all day long to make pistons, replacing tools for wear periodically, a machinist could take a brand new end mill, make some initial test cuts and validate the dimensions, then make the final part and look it all over with the CMM or other tools. You could, by paying extra attention to each part, make a more precise part than something being made on an assembly line where things are not double checked quite so meticulously, for basic efficiency reasons.

Like I assume that by the same definition of "hand made" as the racecar engine, we would consider NASA rovers to be hand made. And they are made to a very high precision. We could consider whether SpaceX Engines have ever been "hand made" and how the quality of those relates to production engines (tho in this case, production engines must have rigorous validation of basically every component I would imagine, so the factory perhaps meets or could even exceed hand production runs in quality).

But I would not say it needs to be a hard and fast rule.

Winsock Registered I/O or RIO predates io_uring and you could make the argument that io_uring "is largely a copy-paste of RIO" if you wanted to be childish.

The truth is that they both use a obvious pattern of high-performance data transfer that's been around a long time. As I said, NVME devices have been doing that for a while and it's a common paradigm in any DMA-based transfer.

io_uring seems more expansive and hence useful compared to the limited scope of RIO or even the NtIoRing stuff.
>Opt-in makes the data useless

Hardly. It just has some issues with regards to what you also pointed out, bias for one. But it still provides valuable insight into usage patterns, systemic issues, and enables tracking effects of developments over time. Correcting the bias is not a bigger task than it is now - I'm sure you already have an idea about feedback to different features according to reviews, user reports, discussions, and so on. Opt-in is the same, just much better.

WSL2 + Ubuntu. It's either MacOS or Windows in BigCorp with all the Okta/Crowdstrike/... stuff they require - and I like the apt-get convenience.

The real activity has shifted up to the orchestration and service discovery layers - nomad, k8s, consul, and whatever fleetmanagement/cluster management layers maintains the hosts (a lot of homebuilt + terraform + chef/argo-workflow in our world).

But OP talks about unrestricted building in specific neighborhoods, not in a sprawling Houston-like flat land (where SFHs are still common).

I’m still for it (I personally like living in dense cities), but I don’t think it will help housing affordability. It’s like expanding a highway to reduce traffic, but it doesn’t because it induces more demand instead (I’m not the only one who likes living in dense cities).
This is just historically inaccurate (and a regrettably common claim among older conservative-ish folk.

Those "minimum wage" jobs that you had a teenager in the 1950-1986 time period? They paid more than minimum wage does now, on an inflation adjusted basis. That $2/hr job in 1962 would be paying $21/hr if it had kept up with CPI.

That's the whole reason why adults started working in them.

Over time, federal minimum wage did not keep up even with national inflation rates, let alone regional cost of living changes. The result is that these employers, who were once forced to pay even their lowest level employees a living wage, can avoid paying even that.

It's reasonable in a "working professional who gets substantial value from" or "building an LLM driven startup project" kind of way.

It's not for the casual user, but for somebody who derives significant value from running it locally.

Personally I use the MacMini as a hub for a project I'm working on as it gives me full control and is simply much cheaper operationally. A one time ~$2000 cost isn't so bad for replacing tasks that a human would have to do. e.g. In my case I'm parsing loosely organized financial documents where structured data isn't available.

I suspect the hardware costs will continue to decline rapidly as they have in the past though, so that $5k for 128GB will likely be $5k for 256GB in a year or two, and so on.

Capital versus Labor: The Great Decoupling
Proper UBI is absolutely economically feasible if we start taxing things like, say, capital gains properly.

"The Expanse" shows the kind of UBI that Big Tech bros would like to see, absolutely. Which is to say, the absolute minimum you need to give people to prevent a revolt and maintain a status quo. But you shouldn't assume that this is the only possibility.

As far as "seen as providing no value to society", that is very much a cultural thing and it is not a constant, so it can and should be changed. OTOH if we insist on treating that particular aspect as immutable, our society is always going to be shitty towards a large number of people in one way or another.

Why don't all these long term community people have a talk with the long term owner and have them not rent their place?
To be honest, it sounds like there is no community whatsoever to begin with, at least not one that the long term community members get any say in what happens.

I wonder if all the people who were renting their vacation homes out stopped doing it, what would happen to the restaurant traffic in the area and who would shop at the souvenir shop?

As a decade-long user and as a professional C++ developer, I'm so happy they've managed to successfully port the shell to Rust. While I have a lot of fun writing C++ (and Rust), I must admit that Rust is vastly nicer to use.

People can complain as much as they want about the borrow checker, but you basically have to be as strict as Rust is in C++ if you want to really avoid use-after-free issues, ... I've been writing "Rusty C++" since before Rust was a thing, because that's the only sane approach to memory safety. I'd rather have a program check that I don't fumble up instead of running sanitizers when things go awry (often years later). The best bug is a bug that can't happen at all.

Static analyzers are sadly too limited compared to what a borrow checker can do in my experience. Some bad stuff will always slip in in C/C++.

But along the lines of general user experience, the central feature I have in mind is the time-based feed. No engagement algorithms, no suggestions, just things happening as they happen. Anything that goes viral does so organically with no push from the system.

The irony of all social media is they all start with an ad-free time-based feed to make people fall in love with the app, then once they reach a critical mass they switch to an engagement algorithm to addict them and pump up views for advertisers.
